There is no, shortage of beggars
Pleading with all
Their desperate might
Ahead the curse
Of winter’s call
Its ever-howling
Fear-inspiring lust
Hunger
Troubles their world’s
As prey within
A tried and terrible foe
The restless shame
Beneath, the spires of saints
Gilded and warm
In spite of all terror
